ynopsis
A jolly pinder boasts how no one, even a baron, makes a trespass at Wakefield. Robin, Will Scarlett, and Little John hear him. The pinder charges them with leaving the road and going among the corn. They fight with swords.
Robin offers to take him into the band.
The pinder gives them some food and says that when Michaelmas comes, he will take his fee from his current master and then join them.
